Chaves County candidates file for primary JILL MCLAUGHLIN RECORD STAFF WRITER

County candidates officially filed for primary election Tuesday, with 13 filing for office. But at the end of the day, only three races will be contested.

Commissioner James Duffey, a Republican, again will face Eloy Ortega in District 1. Four years ago, Duffey narrowly defeated Ortega, a retired building contractor and Roswell Independent School District board member.

“I’ll have a tough race again this time,” Duf fey said. “I’m looking forward to the campaign.”

Duffey planned to begin knocking on doors to meet constituents, he said.

As chairman of the commission, Duffey continues to work on several issues.

He is involved with fighting for county rights in issues regarding the lesser prairie chicken, and hopes to continue construction progress with the Chaves County Detention Center that has proceeded on time and within budget.

Water issues, agriculture, development at the air base, and oil and gas development are central to Duffey’s work on the commission and his campaign, he said.

Jobs creation remains the main focus, though, he said.

“Jobs are still the most important thing in our county,” Duffey said. “We

need to create more jobs.

There are lots of opportunity to grow, expand and utilize the industry we have.

Hopefully, we can keep expanding business. We’re sitting on a gold mine.”

Eloy Ortega, a Democrat, said he wanted to run again because he wanted to address the problem of illegal drugs in the county.

“I have some issues that I would like the county to address and get the school district involved,” Ortega said. “The biggest problem in the county is illegal drugs, especially meth.”

Ortega said, if elected, he would like the sheriff and county commissioners to sponsor a program of sending deputies to every school, more than once a

year, to inform the schools about illegal drugs.

“Right now, I can tell you it’s the worst problem in this county,” Ortega said.

“If I win, that’s the top priority. That’s the main reason I’m running. Being on the school board, I’ll be able to get some things done, if they agree. You never know.”

Ortega lost by just a couple of votes. He said he had a lot of relatives and friends who didn’t vote last time.

But the district had changed this election.

Martinez signs $6B state budget RIO RANCHO (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez signed a $6 billion state budget on Tuesday, but she eliminated pay raises for judges, district attorneys and appointed government workers.

Martinez cut spending about $27 million with lineitem vetoes, including $2.4 million that lawmakers had provided for 8 percent salary increases for judges and district attorneys and about 3 percent raises for workers in appointed government positions.

The governor approved money that will provide an average of 3 percent salary increases for rank-and-file state employees — in classified jobs with civil service protections — as well as public school workers.

Some state employees will receive larger increases, including state police, prison guards and social workers who handle childabuse cases.

Entry-level teachers also will get larger pay raises

because the measure provides money to boost their minimum salaries to $32,000 from $30,000 for a nine-month contract.

The gover nor vetoed a provision that would have required school districts to raise minimum salaries for other teachers by $2,000 — to $42,000 for a “level two” teacher and $52,000 for a “level three” teacher. However, school districts still have the option of giving the increases because the governor eliminated only the language mandating the raises. The money for the higher minimum salaries remains in the budget and will flow to schools as part of about $2.5 billion that is distributed through New Mexico’s school-funding formula.

Districts have flexibility to decide how to spend state aid they receive through the formula.

The governor said judges are among the highest-paid

DOE approves WIPP Officer dragged by vehicle during traffic stop workforce proposal

Nuclear Waste Partnership submitted a plan on Monday to the U.S. Department of Energy to fully utilize the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant workforce to lead recovery activities from two recent incidents.

The DOE approved the plan outlined by NWP on Tuesday, calling for the utilization of the workforce at WIPP. Under this plan, all workers currently assigned to WIPP will

be needed during recovery ef forts, according to a DOE news release.

“The Department understands the value of utilizing the experience and expertise of the NWP workforce in all aspects for recovering from the recent fire and radiation release incidents,” said Joe Franco, manager of DOE’s Carlsbad Field Office.

Steady health care sign-ups may miss goal 15K New Mexicans enroll through health exchange SANTA FE (AP) — The Obama administration reports about 15,000 New Mexicans have signed up for health insurance plans through a federal online marketplace during its first five months of operation.

The enrollment figures released Tuesday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services showed about 3,400 people signed up during February. Open enrollment ends this month.

New Mexico is using the federally operated website to enroll individuals. Businesses can enroll through a state-run exchange.

From October through February, 15,012 people selected an insurance plan. Older New Mexicans — ages 35 to 64 — accounted for about 73 percent of enrollment.

Enrolling younger, healthy Americans is considered critical for keeping insurance premiums from rising in the future because older adults tend to have greater health problems and are more costly to serve.

STATE BRIEFS

State earmarks $89 million for water projects

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Gov. Susana Martinez on Tuesday signed a spending measure that includes $89 million to improve the state’s crumbling drinking water infrastructure.

The governor said she’s disappointed lawmakers didn’t allocate more for water projects. Her administration had asked for at least 60 percent of capital outlay funds — or more than $110 million — to be dedicated to repairing and replacing aging systems.

Martinez added that water quality is an issue in many rural areas, where residents are forced to boil water before drinking it.

The problems associated with aging systems and growing maintenance costs have been exacerbated by years of drought. The dry conditions reached unprecedented levels in 2013, and forecasters are predicting more hot, dry and windy weather this spring.

The latest federal drought map reflects severe conditions or worse across two-thirds of the state.

King accuses feds of trying to siphon NM water

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — New Mexico Attorney General Gary King says the federal government has sided

with Texas in an effort to take the state’s groundwater.

King responded Tuesday to a motion by the government to intervene in a dispute over management of the Rio Grande. Texas first took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court more than a year ago.

New Mexico maintains it is meeting its water delivery obligations to Texas.

But the federal government alleges groundwater pumping in New Mexico is tapping the shallow aquifer that would otherwise drain back into the Rio Grande and flow to Texas.

In the latest court filing, King claims groundwater is a separate source of water from the Rio Grande Project, which provides farmers in souther n New Mexico and Texas with irrigation water.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration said Tuesday it’s making steady progress on health care sign-ups, but the White House needs something close to a miracle to meet its goal of enrolling 6 million people by the end of this month.

It could happen with a sustained surge in consumer demand and a foolproof website. But they’re not seeing it yet, and time is running out.

The Department of Health and Human Services said more than 940,000 people signed up during February for private coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care law, bringing total sign-ups to 4.2 million.

With open enrollment ending March 31, that means to meet the goal, another 1.8 million people

would have to sign up during the month, an average of about 60,000 a day.

That’s way above the daily averages for January and February, which have ranged between 33,000 and 34,000. The math seems to be going against the administration.

If the target isn’t met, the immediate fallout will be political. Republicans will say it proves their point that Obama’s signature project never had the public’s support. Backers of the law will have to work harder to smooth out some of its problems and convince Americans to take a second look.

Administration officials expect the pace to pick up as procrastinators are forced to act. There are no plans to extend the March 31 deadline, they empha-

The Las Cruces SunNews reports Archuleta faced criticism because he continued to receive the $159 per -diem payments and 56 cents-per-mile travel reimbursement.

Lawmakers are entitled to those payments during the Legislature for costs such as housing and food.

Archuleta says he wasn’t aware the payments were continuing to be made to him until a family member alerted him.

A Pine Hill man has pleaded guilty to a federal child abuse charge in New Mexico.

Prosecutors say 32-yearold Harold Martinez entered his plea Tuesday.

He’s been in federal custody since his arrest last November. His sentencing hearing hasn’t been scheduled yet, but prosecutors say Martinez is facing up to three years in prison.

According to a criminal complaint, Martinez got into a physical confrontation with another Navajo man and stabbed him on June 11, 2013.

Pardoned felons can obtain concealed gun license

SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexico’s attorney general say felons who are pardoned can be eligible to obtain licenses to carry concealed handguns.

According to an official opinion by Attorney General Gary King, that’s because the person is no longer considered convicted under the state law on carrying concealed handguns.

King’s of fice says the opinion resulted from a request by Gordon Eden when he was state public safety secretary.

Eden is now the Albuquerque police chief.

Attorney general opinions provide legal guidance to government officials.

Trial over Ten Commandments monument starts

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A trial is underway in federal court in Albuquerque on whether a northwestern New Mexico city can have a monument inscribed with the Ten Commandments in front of City Hall.

A lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of two Bloomfield residents contends the monument violates their religious freedoms by conveying a message that the city endorses a particular religious belief.

Bloomfield’s lawyers contend that private individuals erected and paid for the monument under a 2007 city resolution. That resolution allows people to erect historical monuments of their choosing.

size. The big question is whether that will be enough to make up for the technical troubles that paralyzed HealthCare.gov much of last fall and the continuing challenges for several statesponsored websites.

“Given what we know about past enrollment patterns for health care, we expect that even more (people) will sign up as we approach the March 31 deadline,” said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Julie Bataille, communications director for the health care rollout, said she expects millions more to sign up — but she wouldn’t commit to a number by March 31.

The goal of 6 million signups is itself a lower bar than was originally set. The Congressional Budget Office scaled back its original tar-

get of 7 million because of the federal website’s computer problems. HealthCare.gov serves 36 states, while 14 states and Washington, D.C., are running their own sites.

The 943,000 enrolled in February fell short of the target of 1.27 million that HHS had initially set for the month.

And the cumulative total of 4.2 million sign-ups is just three-fourths of the 5.65 million that HHS originally projected would sign up by the end of February.

Those estimates are from a Sept. 5, 2013 departmental memo.

The numbers released Tuesday still don’t say how many of those signing up were previously uninsured, which is the ultimate test of Obama’s health care overhaul.

will be very boring after about 10 seconds.” Molly B. and Max demonstrated their prowess by laying still and having an occasional snooze.

O’Neill-Stephens discussed the appropriate use of courthouse dogs and the appropriate procedures. She gave a brief history of the use of courthouse dogs in the United States. She also noted the objections that had been raised in the past against their use nationwide, such as the dogs were disruptive or they distracted the jury. Many of these objections have been overturned in various state supreme and appellate court rulings.

As the instructions about proper placement within the courtroom environment and human behavior drew to a close, the two dogs behaved like true professionals stretched out on their mats.

When the handlers removed their uniforms of office, Molly B. and Max transformed. Both began to play. Molly offered her tummy to be rubbed.

The process of selection, training and housing and which dog for which court, continues. Hicks estimates that their training will be completed in six months and a courthouse dog will be a full-time resident by the end of April.

The governor said she trimmed spending because the Democraticcontrolled Legislature had spent nearly all available new revenue for next year and tapped into the state’s cash reserves to pay for oneitem projects and programs.

Money that is vetoed will help replenish cash balances. The governor estimated reserves would be equal to nearly 7.5 percent of spending at the end of the next fiscal year.

The governor vetoed $15 million for public schools because she said the money wasn’t needed until 2016 when newly enacted changes in the school-funding formula take effect.

The money was to help schools with students at risk of dropping out.

Stormtroopers, a wookiee and CPAC A4 Wednesday, March 12, 2014

OXON HILL, Md. — The first “people” I recognized on arriving at last week’s Conservative Political Action Committee gathering just outside Washington were two “stormtroopers” and a Wookiee from the 1977 film “Star Wars.”

Some of the speeches also expressed sentiments from the past, though not as cleverly as those in costume: Obama is a bad president, even a bad man.

America looks weak before the world. Gover nment is too big and taxes too high. “The Force” seemed to have left the building, or perhaps it never arrived.

Perhaps the most interesting speaker was the outgoing governor of Texas, Rick Perry, who has experienced a minor makeover. Those dark-rimmed glasses he now wears give him a more serious appearance. Perry also seems to have taken a crash course in public speaking because he revealed a passion that was lacking in his brief

THOMAS SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

2012 presidential campaign.

Perry did something else which even The Washington Post took note of, though not as many delegates did. He appeared on a panel to discuss prison reform.

“Tough on crime” has long been a conservative red meat issue and Perry wanted people to know that being tough on crime could also mean “smart on crime.” He’s talking alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent offenders and rehabilitation, more than punishment. In a state that ranks first in executions, Perry has become an advocate for reforming the criminal justice system.

EDITORIAL

That’s a position that won’t get him many standing ovations, but it is a positive alternative to the angry and negative image projected by too many conservatives.

New Jersey Gover nor Chris Christie was right to urge his fellow Republicans to “start talking about what we’re for and not what we’re against.”

A bigger issue waiting to be seized by Republicans is education reform. In New York, a battle has erupted between Governor Andrew Cuomo, a sudden proponent of at least partial school choice when it comes to charter schools, and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who has pledged to close charter schools and return mostly poor and minority children who are succeeding in them to failing public schools.

In an opinion essay for The Daily Messenger newspaper, Cuomo sounded like a Republican: “...education is not about

Roswell Daily Record

the districts and not about the pensions and not about the unions and not about the lobbyists and not about the PR firms — education is about the students, and the students come first.”

He added: “We know that too many public schools are failing.

Over 200 failing schools — 6 percent grade level for reading, 5 percent grade level for math. We need new ideas. ... The education industry has said the same thing for decades: more money, and more money, and more money, and it will change. We spend more money per pupil than any state in the nation; we’re number 32 in results. It’s not just about putting more money in the public school system, it’s trying something new and that’s what charter schools are all about.”

Rescuing children has always been a political issue for Democrats, but they aren’t being rescued. Too many are drowning in

failed, monopolistic government schools. Conservatives and Republicans should be riding to their rescue, saying something like this: “It is a form of child abuse to deny any child a decent education. Education is a child’s ticket to the future, but too many liberal Democrats have stamped those tickets ‘invalid’ by forcing them to remain in schools where their chances of succeeding are greatly diminished.”

If conservatives really want to attract more minority voters they will help their kids. It’s positive, it’s optimistic, and it will work.

During the 1960 presidential campaign, John F. Kennedy repeatedly said: “We can do better.” So can conservatives. So can Republicans. So can America. Even a Wookiee might agree.

Rand Paul goes where too few Republicans fear to tread

More than five years into his presidency, it’s now easy to forget precisely what it was that led Barack Obama to capture the public imagination. This summer, it will have been a decade since Mr. Obama -- then an Illinois state senator -- delivered his rousing keynote address to the Democratic Convention in Boston, decrying the formulation of red states and blue states living in perpetual tension with each other and reminding us, “We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.”

Mr. Obama’s presidency, alas, has largely failed to transcend the barriers he once denounced. At a decade’s remove, he has become an utterly conventional partisan figure. We leave it to our readers to decide how much of the blame for that fact resides with Mr. Obama himself and how much is an unavoidable byproduct of the modern presidency.

Just because Mr. Obama failed to live up to the noble vision he articulated, however, doesn’t mean that the underlying notion is misbegotten. It may be quixotic to imagine that a nation cleaved along ideological lines will ever approach anything like unity, but it’s worthwhile to embrace the notion that we should approach contending opinions with respect rather than reflexive contempt.

For that reason, we applaud Kentucky U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, who has gone to great lengths of late to take his message of limited government and individual liberty to constituencies too often ignored by his fellow Republicans. Sen. Paul’s outreach has included efforts to cultivate young people, women and minorities, the last of which recently ear ned him an invitation to address the NAACP. That’s a model we’d like to see more politicians on both side of the aisle embrace.

The biggest danger of this era of political polarization isn’t ideology per se, as much as it is the demographic patterns that accompany it. Too often, Republicans ignore ethnic minorities, gay Americans, residents of big cities and single women, all of whom they believe have a permanent home in the Democratic Party. Likewise, Democrats often fail to make serious efforts to understand the needs of religious believers, members of the business community and rural Americans.

We understand that each party has a political incentive to spend more time cultivating its base than reaching out to groups with which it has traditionally struggled.

That said, no party or politician can effectively govern a country while keeping half of its population at arm’s length. As we prepare for another election season, we hope more politicians will take President Obama’s words to heart and learn from Sen. Paul’s example. The country will be better for it.

REPRINTED FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER DEAR DOCTOR K: Two friends recently had stents put in. What exactly is a stent? How does it work?

DEAR READER: A stent is a small metal cylinder that opens up a blockage in the arteries. It looks like a miniature chain-link fence rolled into a tube. Stents have helped revolutionize the treatment of the most common form of heart disease, coronary artery disease. To understand how, we’ll have to take a few steps back.

Coronary artery disease is atherosclerosis of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Atherosclerosis causes cholesterol-filled plaques — growths in the wall of the artery that block the flow of blood through the artery. Those plaques can cause symptoms like angina (chest pain caused by coronary artery disease). They

The peril of ignoring change MARK SHIELDS CREATORS SYNDICATE

According to the Census Bureau, for the first time in more than a century, the annual number of deaths among white Americans exceeded the number of births. Add to that the facts that Asians are now the fastest-growing minority in the U.S., and a majority of American children younger than 5 now belong to a racial or ethnic minority, and we can begin to appreciate Heraclitus’ wisdom that “change is the only constant in life.”

Consider the velocity of change in our presidential politics. In the 1988 presidential election, Republican nominee George H. W. Bush won 59 percent of the white vote, and in 2012, Republican nominee Mitt Romney also won 59 percent of the white vote. The differences in the final results between those two elections, not even a quarter century apart, are

also can suddenly rupture, causing a clot to form that completely blocks blood flow and causes a heart attack.

Stents are used during a procedure called angioplasty. Angioplasty allows doctors to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries that could lead to a heart attack.

During angioplasty, a cardiologist uses a needle to guide a plastic tube called a catheter into an artery (usually in the groin). Using

beyond staggering. Bush’s 59 percent of the white vote was the key to his winning 426 electoral votes and running more than 7 million votes ahead of Democrat Michael Dukakis.

In 2012, Romney’s 59 percent of the white vote did not prevent his losing the popular vote to the Democratic incumbent President Barack Obama by 5 million and being able to win only 206 electoral votes to Obama’s 332. When Bush defeated Dukakis, the U.S. electorate was 85 percent white; when Romney lost to Obama in 2012, the nation’s electorate was just 72 percent white.

I was surprised to lear n that Asians are the fastestgrowing minority group in the country. Asian immigrants from South Korea, India, Japan, Pakistan and China are disproportionately found in the scientific, engineering and medical professions while also demonstrating a remarkable aptitude for

X-rays as a guide, and a guide wire, the cardiologist pushes the tip of the catheter through the arteries that lead to the heart.

Once the catheter tip reaches the heart, it is guided into the coronary arteries. Dye squirted through the catheter shows the location and severity of any blockages. Near the tip of the catheter is an inflatable balloon. Once the catheter reaches the narrowed section of blood vessel, the cardiologist inflates the balloon. This pushes the plaque back against the wall of the artery and widens the channel through the artery, allowing more blood to flow through it.

The stent surrounds the catheter, on top of the uninflated balloon. When the balloon is inflated, the stent also expands.

After the procedure is done, the doctor withdraws the catheter and

launching their own businesses. But the anti-immigrant rhetoric, led by Romney, which dominated the GOP presidential primaries, and which may have been intended as hostile only to those coming in from Mexico, had the effect of alienating so many Pacific newcomers that Obama beat Romney by 3-1 in this voter group.

Remember the first election of the 21st century, when Republican George W. Bush, despite losing the popular vote to Democrat Al Gore, prevailed in the Electoral College by way of the Supreme Court? Gore’s gracious concession was an exceptionally unselfish act of political leadership that enabled most of his supporters to accept the decision. But if Romney had gotten the same percentage of the votes in 2000 that he in fact won in 2012, the Massachusetts Republican would have won a clear majority of the national popular vote that year.

the deflated balloon from the body. But the expanded stent remains in place, keeping that artery open and blood flowing through it. (I’ve put an illustration of stent placement on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

The stent serves as a scaffold to hold the artery open. Most stents are coated with drugs that prevent cells from growing over and around the stent. Such growth occurred with older stents, and that caused a new blockage to occur where the old one had been.

But drug-coated stents can create some problems of their own.

The drugs they exude can make it easier for clots to form on the stent. That’s why anyone with a drug-coated stent must also take blood-thinning drugs.

Researchers are continually trying to improve the design of stents. Stents also are used to

My friend, Mark Russell, the wittiest man in or out of Washington, likes to remind us that his census figures indicate that by 2020, there will be 123,000 Americans over the age of 100 ... and that all of them will have valid Florida driver’s licenses.

But for the Republicans who ignore change and insist on campaigning in a country that no longer exists, its party platfor m castigating immigrants could turn into the political world’s longest suicide note. Let’s hope not, because this nation must educate, train and welcome the immigrant children among us, and because we need two healthy, relevant, competitive political parties.

An advocate’s open response LOCAL

Roswell Daily Record

Today’s column is in response to the four letters of criticism by fellow veterans Orlando Padillo and Magil Duran appearing in two separate newspaper editions last week. I was originally going to let this criticism pass, but I had a number of veterans asking me to respond (as Magil’s and Orlando’s criticism of me being “political” seemed to them as the same thing they were doing).

So, here goes. I can’t address all your criticisms in the space allotted, but here are the key points.

Keep in mind, these are (my) opinions and not those of this newspaper, the Cemetery Board, or all veterans (as the same should be true of your opinions).

Actually, your criticism is not a surprise, as you criticized me the same way when I presented a column concerning your ex-representative, Mr. Teague. In that criticism, your letter to the editor was signed by all the officers of our past VFW Post #28 (just before your VFW Post #28 was closed by the state of New Mexico for violations of the state and federal alcohol and gambling regulations, i.e. having nonmembers and underage females present when alcohol and gambling activities were being carried out). It saddened me when I read the state agent’s official closure notice (in which she was very specific about the violations) because we were los-

ing another veterans organization due to “mismanagement”.

Interestingly, several of those VFW officers (as well as several members) let me know that letter was sent in without their approval, and they did not support your criticism. Subsequent to that event, we had our Disabled American Veterans Post also closed after several thousand dollars had been pocketed by “the veteran in charge”(information shared with me by veterans auditing that account). “Veterans taking advantage of veterans” is a topic for another column.

The major theme of your letters was that I need to stop being political in my column and stick to dispensing information. Not so my brothers. A significant majority of all our veteran problems are caused by, and can only be resolved by, the political action of our political representatives. The

SENIOR CIRCLE BIRTHDAY PARTY HELD TODAY

definition of an advocate (dictionary): “A person who publically supports or recommends a particular cause, policy or action”). Your “caution” to me that I “only give information” doesn’t meet that definition. The “information” you make reference to can be obtained by you and all veterans simply by reading any number of government pamphlets. I’m not a librarian, my friends.

On the point about me being a disgruntled veteran, I can remember several times when you guys and I were in the same room with several other disgruntled veterans to find resolutions to several of our most critical problems. So please don’t paint me as being some kind of different “disgruntled veteran.”

Yes, I am a disgruntled veteran, but I choose to advocate for (all) of us disgruntled veterans. I would invite you to do the same.

Also, you commented my column was the opinion of a disgruntled veteran rather than journalism. I am not a paid journalist! I do not have the expertise our journalists here at this newspaper have. I am a volunteer advocate—not a trained journalist. I do, however, advocate for all of our brother and sister veterans by using this vehicle. I caution you, “don’t shoot the messenger,” guys!

Conversation about Dementia

Wednesday, March 12, 2014

On the criticism I need to “look in our VA hospitals to see what the cream of our crop in our men and women have to live with forever,” and “needing to address our veterans who are coming back and are bedridden,” and “there are no politics in the foxhole” are considerably misguided. Too bad your military experience didn’t allow you to join us in that “killing field” foxhole of blood.

In my foxhole, I was shot several times and was bayoneted, causing me to spend 14 months in a military hospital. Over the years, I have lived with heart disease (causing five heart attacks to date), third stage kidney failure, PTSD and other significant health problems due to my combat injuries.

Please do not tell me that I am not sympathetic to their (our) problems. I feel for all of our veterans coming back, but I also feel for all of our brothers and sisters from other wars who are somehow overlooked as also being wounded warriors.

A quick statement on the cemetery. Your comment about our exmayor being the key factor in the cemetery’s development is misguided. The General McBride and Ray Willis families have, combined, donated more than $250,000 in prime city land and cash. Bert

A5

Eldridge, who is the only one actually working the land to date, assisted by Harry McGraw from the beginning, has contributed more than $50,000 in donated services (as Bert Eldridge is a contractor by trade).

We would not even be here discussing this issue if it were not for these very veteran friendly-individuals. There have been four of us working more than three years on this project prior to the recent government promise to help us create our cemetery.

Oddly enough, after I ran 2 columns about Gov. Mary Landrieu’s (a Democrat) building of three state cemeteries and support of two local cemeteries in Louisiana over the last eight years, that seemed to spark interest in our state’s politicians. You can go back and reference those articles to verify.

There are so many other inaccuracies I would have liked to cover, my brothers. I am exceedingly grateful for the freedom of speech we all have to express our views publically. I pray we can stop the current movement that is destroying that freedom. My guess is you two brothers did not receive scathing criticism about being “political,” and did not receive two death threats as I did. God bless.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Others might insist on dominating right now. You are likely to get much more of what you desire if you keep communication open and stay close to your friends. You could be thinking some very negative thoughts, so try to turn them around.

Tonight: Say “yes.”

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could see a situation develop differently from how you might have expected it to. A friend or loved one could be unusually controlling and might cause you some distress. You have a lot to do, so focus your energy on getting it done. Tonight: Out late.

ALBUQUERQUE — In 1975, Van McCoy and the Soul City Symphony rode “The Hustle” to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Thirty-nine years later, you might say that Santa Fe did its own version of “The Hustle” right into the semifinals of the NMAA Class 4A State Basketball Championship.

The second-seeded Demonettes outhustled, outrebounded and, most importantly, outscored No. 7 Roswell, 51-43, in the quarterfinals on Tuesday at The Pit.

E-mail: sports@rdrnews.com

The loss eliminated Roswell from the tournament before the semifinals for the first time since 2006 and just the second time in the past 12 seasons.

Hustle can’t be measured, but rebounding can and Santa Fe (28-2) dominated the category.

The Demonettes, who advanced to Thursday’s semifinals to face No. 6 Valencia with the win, outrebounded Roswell 36-25 and seemingly grabbed every loose ball.

“They got a million rebounds and we didn’t. They got extra opportunities,” said Roswell coach Joe Carpenter. “Even when

A couple of accomplished NFL pass rushers suddenly became available when DeMarcus Ware and Julius Peppers were released to create room under the salary cap in two of the biggest moves at Tuesday’s start of the free-agency signing period.

The Bears cut ties with Peppers, who has 118½ sacks in 12 seasons, as part of a series of moves aimed at improving their defense, including a fiveyear contract with former Raiders end Lamarr Houston.

Milwaukee beats Wright St 69-63 for Horizon title DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Senior forward Kyle Kelm had a double-double and Milwaukee’s front line dominated, and the Panthers led the whole way during a 69-63 victory over Wright State on Tuesday night for the Horizon League tournament title.

Milwaukee (21-13) is back in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2006, when the Panthers knocked off Oklahoma in the first round before losing to Florida.

They’re 3-3 all-time in the tournament.

Kelm had 20 points and nine rebounds, and Jordan Aaron scored 18 points as Milwaukee went 9 of 18 from beyond the arc against the league’s top defense and had a 35-28 edge in rebounds.

A.J. Pacher led the Raiders with 16 points despite spending much of the second half on the bench in foul trouble.

Mount St. Mary’s reaches NCAA tournament MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — To prepare for a second consecutive trip to the Northeast Conference title game, Mount St. Mary’s coach Jamion Christian looked back on his performance last season, when he thought he over-coached the game.

He called just four plays Tuesday night.

Then, he cut down the nets.

Fourth-seeded Mount St. Mary’s used a bunch of 3-pointers to knock off topranked Robert Morris 88-71 on Tuesday night and advance to the NCAA tournament.

“You saw a team really connected, and really doing whatever they could to win a championship,” said Christian, the Mountaineers’ second-year coach.

Five Mount St. Mary’s players scored in double figures, led by guard Rashad Whack with 20 points, to give the Mountaineers their first NCAA tournament berth since 2008 and fourth in school history.

Julian Norfleet (17), Taylor Danaher (15), Sam Prescott (15) and Will Miller (11) also finished in double figures for the Mountaineers, whose four NEC championship game victories all came on the road.

But after several busloads of fans made the four-hour trip from Emmitsburg, Md., to suburban Pittsburgh, the Mountaineers often felt at home, especially after the final buzzer when dozens of fans ran down from the bleachers and danced at mid court to

Grambling State, 3-15 in conference play this season, avenged two regular-season losses to Jackson State — both by doubledigits.

Chandler Thomas added 20 points and 14 rebounds for Grambling State (5-23).

Grambling State pushed ahead after it went on a 14-3 second-half run, with 3-pointers by Rose and A’Torri Shine, to take a 6761 lead.

Jeff Stubbs made a basket to pull Jackson State within 75-73 with 2:19 left, but Jackson State would only make one more field goal for the remainder. Grambling State hit 7 of 8 free throws in the final 34 seconds to secure the win.

Julysses Nobles had 28 points, on 9-of-23 shooting, for Jackson State (11-20).

Matt Harrison throws inning in Texas ‘B’ game

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Texas Rangers pitcher Matt Harrison made his first spring training game appearance, throwing one inning in a “B’’ game against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.

Harrison threw six strikes among 11 pitches to four batters. He allowed one hit, a single up the middle by Mike Moustakas.

He has been slowed this spring training by a back problem. He received a nerveblock injection on the right side of his neck on Feb. 24, but was cleared for his back issue.

Harrison won 18 games and was an AllStar in 2012, then got a $55 million, fiveyear contract. He had never had any back issues before last spring training, and still made his first two scheduled starts. After going 0-2 with an 8.44 ERA, Harrison got two epidural injections and a second opinion before two operations in a matter of weeks.

Bill for the Dodgers is about ready to come due

TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist Fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers applauded as the team was sold for $2 billion, and cheered with each expensive new addition.

Now the bill is coming due. And guess who is going to pay the price?

Actually, you don’t need to guess. The way baseball finds ways to separate fans from their money knows no bounds.

New stadiums funded by taxpayers are pretty much standard across the country. So are $11 beers and $15 sandwiches for those who can afford the price of a ticket at the ballpark to begin with.

The Mountaineers (16-16) built a 20point first-half lead and never looked back, shooting 60.4 percent from the field.

“I’m just so proud of us,” said Prescott, one of the Mountaineers’ three senior guards. “Every day, we challenge ourselves to get better. And this is the result — a championship.”

Robert Morris (21-13) never led and never pulled closer within single digits of Mount St. Mary’s in the second half. Robert Morris won both games between the teams during the regular season.

The Mountaineers used a simple and persistent attack to break down Robert Morris’ zone defense, which had limited opponents to an average of 55 points per game in the first two rounds of the NEC tournament.

Robert Morris coach Andy Toole said the Mountaineers did a good job of spacing the floor and moving the ball into the high post, where Prescott made jump shots with ease.

“They made us make choices, and unfortunately it seemed like every choice we made was the wrong one,” Toole said.

With Prescott hitting his mid-range jump shots, Whack, Norfleet and Miller found space behind the arc.

“They executed it better than I could have ever dreamed,” Christian said.

But now teams are finding ways to reach deep in the pockets of those who wouldn’t know Clayton Kershaw from Alex Rodriguez.

And that could mean more than half of Dodger fans in the Los Angeles area — and countless others living elsewhere — may find themselves unable to watch their favorite team when the season begins later this month.

At the heart of the issue is a new regional sports network that will pay the Dodgers $8.35 billion over the next 25 years. It was created

by Time Warner Cable solely to broadcast the team’s games, and it’s the reason the new owners paid more for the team than any other professional sports franchise ever.

It’s nothing new in sports. The YES Network that broadcasts the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Nets is reportedly very profitable, and there has been a proliferation of new networks sprouting up for teams, leagues and even college conferences.

But the networks want to be bundled in packages that everyone gets, not just sports fans. There’s a lot more money to be made if every cable or satellite TV subscriber has to pay up.

It’s a system that has worked well for ESPN, which gets more than $5 a month from almost everyone who pays a cable or satellite bill. But providers like DirecTV are starting to play hardball in negotiations with the new networks, and that means a lot of Dodger fans could be without their favorite team unless deals are made.

Even if they are, what used to be seen for either free or a small fee will now cost viewers plenty. Baseball has now gotten the pay-perview it has coveted for so long, and the best part is it’s cleverly disguised as just part of your monthly bill.

On an earnings call with analysts last month, DirecTV CEO Mike White called the fee Time Warner is asking for its Dodger Network — various reports put it between $4 and $5 a month — a “staggering increase relative to any other benchmark in Major League Baseball.”

For those who can’t bear spending the summer without Vin Scully that’s probably a fee they’re willing to pay. But sports programming is already a big chunk of everyone’s cable or satellite bill, and without a la carte pricing everyone pays. That includes people who would much rather spend the evening watching “American Idol” than the Dodgers playing the San Diego Padres.

DirecTV is already charging an additional $3 per month in markets with multiple regional sports networks. White said the Los Angeles market should expect an increase in that surcharge if the satellite provider decides to carry the network.

“These kinds of increases are what drive people to want to see a la carte,” he told analysts.

The real problem, though, isn’t the business dispute between cable and satellite providers and the new networks. It’s the unending greed of Major League Baseball, which continues to sacrifice the good of the game for the money its owners can make from the game.

It’s backfired at times, most notably in Houston where the parent company of Comcast SportsNet Houston is in bankruptcy because no other providers thought the hapless Astros were worth buying. But mostly baseball has been able to continue to extract money from both fans and non-fans who don’t even realize they’re paying.

They do so even while interest in the game is declining. Sure, the die-hard fans remain, but the World Series that used to be regularly watched in more than half of all households was on in just 15 percent of them last year.

The new owners of the Dodgers didn’t spend $2 billion thinking they wouldn’t be getting in on the gravy train. With one of the premier franchises in sports, it’s pretty much a guarantee they will.

What’s even more of a guarantee is that you’ll end up footing the bill.

Durant, Westbrook lead Thunder past Rockets

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Kevin Durant scored 42 points to help the Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Houston Rockets 106-98 on Tuesday night.

Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook scored 24 points and got the best of nemesis Patrick Beverley. During last year’s playoffs, Beverley dived for the ball and ran into Westbrook’s right knee as a timeout was being called, causing the injury that ended Westbrook’s season and cost him about half of this season. It was their first meeting since the incident.

Serge Ibaka had 12 points and 16 rebounds for the Thunder, who had lost two straight.

Former Thunder guard James Harden scored 28 points, Chandler Parsons scored 19 and Dwight Howard had nine points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets. Houston had won five straight, including victories over Miami, Indiana and Portland.

The chippiness started early in Tuesday’s game. Beverley swiped the ball away from Westbrook after a timeout with 6:10 left in the first quarter. Beverley and Westbrook had to be separated, and Beverley issued a technical foul. Beverley and Westbrook got tangled up again about a minute later.

Midway through the second quarter, Harden and backup Oklahoma City point guard Reggie Jackson had to be separated.

Westbrook spent the rest of the second quarter dominating Beverley. Westbrook blew past him for a layup, then lost him on a screen and made a 3-pointer to put the Thunder up 49-32. Westbrook drew Beverley’s third foul on a 3-point attempt with 2:50 left in the first half.

Westbrook scored 11 points in the final 6:19 of the quarter to help the Thunder take a 56-41 lead at the break. Oklahoma City held Houston to 35 percent shooting in the first half.

Howard committed his third and fourth fouls in the first two minutes of the third quarter, and Beverley committed his fourth with 8:52 left in the third as the Thunder maintained control.

Oklahoma City led by 18 at one point in the third quarter, but the Rockets chipped away late in the period and trailed 77-67 heading into the fourth.

Houston rallied, and a 3-pointer by Francisco Garcia and a dunk by Omer Asik cut Oklahoma City’s lead to 77-72 early in the fourth. Durant answered with five straight points to put the Thunder back in control.

The game remained chippy. Garcia got hit in the face by Durant, drawing a technical.

The rematch was another case of trying to hold onto a big early lead. The Panthers pulled it off.

Milwaukee hardly missed at the outset.

The Panthers made seven of their first 10 shots, including 3 of 4 beyond the arc, during an opening 21-7 run.

Austin Arians had a jumper and a 3-pointer during the spurt, which was set up by four Wright State turnovers.

Kelm had a threepoint play and a putback that helped Milwaukee extend the lead to 43-33 at the half.

Kelm had a game-high 14 points in the half.

The Panthers returned to the court first to warm up for the second half, only to find there were no basketballs to shoot. They stood around for a few minutes before an equipment handler wheeled out a rack of basketballs.

Both teams took the ball inside for points at the start of the second half. Pacher had a pair of baskets but picked up his third foul as Wright State cut it to 47-43. He returned and picked up his fourth foul with 9:57 to go.

About 5½ hours after free agency began, one of the top players available, three-time Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd, agreed to terms with the Saints, part of a merry-go-round of moves at his position. Other safeties swapping clubs: Michael Jenkins, from Saints to Eagles; Donte Whitner from 49ers to Browns; Antoine Bethea from Colts to 49ers; T.J. Ward from Browns to Broncos; Mike Mitchell from Panthers to Steelers; Ryan Mundy from Giants to Bears.

In addition to jettisoning Peppers and adding Houston and Mundy, Chicago agreed to oneyear deals with linebackers Jordan Senn and D.J. Williams.

thinking upset.

Jaedyn De La Cerda opened the quarter by drilling a 3-pointer 15 seconds in to make it 37-33.

After a pair of misses by Santa Fe, Alexis Florez banked one in from the right block off a feed from Georgia Lynn Eldridge with 6:53 to draw Roswell within two.

Santa Fe quickly answered, though, with a basket from Jackie Martinez 18 seconds later.

That would be a theme over the next 3 ½ minutes.

With 6:05 left, Priscilla Lucero again cut Roswell’s deficit to two with a layup off a feed from Florez.

Santa Fe’s answer came 59 seconds later on a basket

by Kayla Herrera.

With 4:25 left, Eldridge made it 41-39 off an assist from Lucero after an offensive rebound. Twenty seconds later, Santa Fe’s SabLozada-Cabbage rina answered with a bucket underneath.

Roswell (16-13) missed two field goals and turned it over once on its next three possessions, allowing Santa Fe, which made 8 of

“I really felt good about going into the second half,” Carpenter said. “Then we opened up the second half the same way we started the game, real nonchalant and they were outhustling us to every loose ball. It just didn’t change and I thought it was going to change. It just didn’t.

“Eventually, I thought we would outhustle them, but we got outhustled in The Pit and that was the bottom line.”

Lozada-Cabbage recorded a double-double to lead the Demons, registering game highs in points and rebounds with 18 and 14, respectively. Herrera finished with nine points.

De La Cerda led Roswell with 11 points.

The tale of the game was rebounding, which made Herrera’s rebound on her own missed free throw with 26 seconds left all too fitting.

“It was frustrating,” said Gali Sanchez, who tied Lucero and Eldridge for the team lead in rebounds with five, about Santa Fe’s rebounding edge. “But, we did what we could do. We

Deals for offensive linemen were highlighted by Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert’s five-year contract with the Dolphins. Albert left Kansas City to take over the position played at the start of last season by Jonathan Martin, whose exit from Miami in October led to an NFL inquiry into bullying on the team.

Late Tuesday, Martin was traded by the Dolphins to the 49ers.

Left tackle Jared Veldheer and the Cardinals agreed to a five-year contract worth up to $35 million.

Veldheer left the Raiders, who replaced him by giving former Rams lineman Rodger Saffold a five-year deal. Another left tackle, Eugene Monroe, agreed to a fiveyear contract to stay with the Ravens.

Guards switching teams: Zane Beadles was joining the Jaguars from the Broncos, pending a physical; the Falcons agreed to terms with Jon Asamoah, who left the Chiefs; the Redskins struck a deal with Shawn Lauvao, who left the Browns. The Redskins also agreed

Adapting to Climate Change

We can all help slow climate change. For example, all the top professional sports leagues in America are going green. The Seattle Mariners baseball team is leading the way with its superheroes, Kid Compost and Captain Plastic. They help the Mariners recycle or compost more than 90 percent of the waste from Safeco Field.

This is up from 12 percent in 2005.

Why is this happening?

Rising temperatures

Some gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap some of the heat from the sun.

If they didn’t, the Earth would be a frozen ball with no life.

But people are adding more carbon dioxide, or CO2, and other gases to the atmosphere when they burn fossil fuels such as oil, gas and coal.

These gases, called greenhouse gases, are trapping more heat than normal. Experts say that for at least 800,000 years, the CO2 level in the atmosphere was stable. But during the Industrial Revolution in the late 1700s and 1800s, fossil fuel use went way up. In less than 300 years, CO2 levels have increased by 45 percent.

Experts predict that global temperatures will rise between 2.5 degrees and 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century. Small temperature changes can cause huge changes in the environment.

For example, at the end of the last ice age, average temperatures were only 5 to 9 degrees cooler than today. That was enough to cover the northeast United States in 3,000 feet of ice! What will happen if it becomes 5 to 9 degrees hotter than normal?

If we stop polluting now, we can keep temperature increases low. People are turning to renewable energy. We can turn off lights, ride our bikes, walk or use public transportation. It all helps.

Air Force Academy firefighters battle the Black Forest Fire in Colorado Springs, Colo. This was the largest fire in Colorado history. It burned thousands of acres and hundreds of homes in June 2013.

Experts believe the number and strength of wildfires will keep increasing as the climate changes. Heat and drought fuel forest fires.

The years from 1983 to 2012 were the warmest 30-year period in 1,400 years. Temperatures keep rising.

Earth’s climate is changing.

Scientists say climate change is fueling more violent storms, droughts, heat waves, rising sea levels and heavier snowfall and rainfall. These problems are causing other problems, such as food shortages, the spread of disease-carrying insects and the loss of people’s homes.

Climate change can also benefit us.

It may make some crops grow better and lower our heating costs. We can adapt, or adjust, to climate change.

The Mini Page talked with an expert from the Natural Resources Defense Council to find out how climate change is affecting people.

Warmth and Water The rising sea

Safely home

Since 1870, sea levels have risen about 8 inches. Experts say sea levels will probably rise from 7 to 23 inches more by 2100.

The warming climate is melting sheets of land ice. The meltwater then flows into the ocean.

In addition, about 90 percent of the extra heat in our planet is trapped in the oceans. Heat causes matter to expand, or grow bigger. This means the warmer waters take up more space, and sea levels rise.

Rising sea levels threaten to drown whole islands, leaving millions of people without homes. Many coastal areas could be underwater someday, including parts of Florida and New York.

People are planning to build sea walls to keep the water out in places, but this is only a temporary solution. Walls won’t hold back the sea forever. Many communities are planning to move to higher ground or farther inland.

Experts believe there may be at least 50 million environmental refugees by 2020, only six years from now. Environmental refugees are people who are forced to move to new homes because of environmental disasters such as storms, flooding and drought.

Life Changes

!LL THE FOLLOWING JOKES HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON Can you guess the common theme or category?

Entire houses are falling into the sea in Shishmaref, Alaska, because of coastal erosion sped up by climate change. Residents there testified before Congress in January to try to get help to relocate their community of about 550 people. People are losing homes that have housed them, their parents, grandparents and generations before.

The Mini Page’s popular series of issues about each state is collected here in a 156-page softcover book. Conveniently spiral-bound for ease of use, this invaluable resource contains A-to-Z facts about each state, along with the District of Columbia. Illustrated with colorful photographs and art, and complete with updated information, The Mini Page Book of States will be a favorite in classrooms and homes for years to come.

3HISHMAREF !LASKA IS DEALING with a group of problems caused by climate change. Storms, rising waves, melting permafrost and an eroding coastline are threatening this community.

People there live off the land, using traditional skills. But now, even the elders are no longer able to judge the thickness of the ice. Meat from hunts is spoiling in the warmer temperatures.

The community has decided to move inland, but they worry about losing their cultural practices, which have existed for about 4,000 years.

! CHANGING CLIMATE MEANS traditional crops may no longer grow well in the same areas.

Many farmers are thinking about changing what they grow. For example, in the Northeast, apples, lilacs and maple syrup all depend on cold winters. New York apple growers are testing apples that don’t require as much chilling in the winter.

In Vermont, the maple sap season is already about 3.5 days shorter than it was 50 years ago. Someday, Vermont may not be able to produce maple syrup at all.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I work in a palliative care unit in a local hospital, and I’m all too aware of how important it is to have one’s end-of-life wishes documented, notarized and onhand in case of an emergency.

I remember reading an essay that appeared in your column years ago; it eloquently described the desire of the writer that his body be used to allow others to live through organ donation. Is it part of your “Keepers” booklet?

JYNNA IN NORTH CAROLINA

DEAR JYNNA: Yes, it is included. And I’m printing it for you today because it contains an important message. The author, Robert Test, was not only altruistic, but also the ultimate “recycler.”

TO REMEMBER ME by Robert Test “At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped.

“When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. And don’t call this my ‘deathbed.’ Call it my ‘bed of life,’ and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.

“Give my sight to a man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby’s face or love in the eyes of a woman.

“Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain.

“Give my blood to the teenager

COMICS

who has been pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play.

“Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.

“Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.

“Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that someday a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her windows.

“Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.

“If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all my prejudice against my fellow man.

“Give my soul to God. If by chance you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you.

If you do all I have asked, I will

live forever.”

Readers, “Keepers” is a collection of favorite letters, poems and essays that have appeared in this column over the years. It was assembled because so many readers said the items were meaningful to them and requested that they be compiled as a booklet. It can be ordered by sending your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby Keepers Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 610540447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. It covers subjects from temptation to forgiveness, animals, children and human nature. Filled with downto-earth nuggets of wisdom, both philosophical and witty, it’s a quick, easy read, and an inexpensive gift for newlyweds, pet lovers, new parents or anyone recovering from an illness because it covers a wide variety of subjects.

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Heloise: I use a SLOW COOKER several times a week. I always use fresh meat or meat that I thawed after being in the freezer. Can you put frozen meat in a slow cooker?

Anna L., via email

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

No, and that’s from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Meat and Poultry Hotline (888-674-6854), which is the authority I go to for the right answer. Meat always should be properly thawed before placing it in the slow cooker. The reason is that it takes a longer time for the slow cooker to reach the correct temperature if you are trying to cook a big hunk of frozen meat. Bacteria could start growing because of the lower temperature and longer cooking time. If you hear or read otherwise, it’s your call, and you are taking a chance of food poisoning.

There are frozen meals available that are made specifically for the slow cooker. You can order them online or check in grocery stores.

Heloise ##### SEND A GREAT HINT TO: Heloise P.O. Box 795000 San Antonio, TX 78279-5000 Fax: 210-HELOISE Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com

Dear Heloise: I always wash fruits before eating.

However, I would have the hardest time removing the fruit sticker — that is, until I figured out an easier way.

Take the sticker off BEFORE washing the fruit. This one simple step can keep you from trying to remove a wet sticker that seems to glue itself to the fruit once water is added.

Wilma T. in Wyoming Dear Heloise: I have noticed that spice manufacturers are now making premeasured spices in a little blister-pack-type packaging with a coordinating recipe on the back.

I have been doing this for years. I take a clean, seven-day pill container and premeasure my spices for my recipe into each compartment. I then wrap the recipe around the pill container with a rubber band. My prep time is shortened by so much time, and I know in advance if I have all the spices I need for my dinner.

Darlene G., via email Dear Heloise: If there is mold on the top of my jar of jam or jelly, can I just scoop it out and still eat the rest?

Bob H. in Florida

NO! You are seeing only the surface mold and not the remaining part, which may be growing down into the rest of the jam. According to experts, the mold could be producing a mycotoxin, which is poisonous and can make people extremely ill. Scooping it out might not get all of it. Don’t take a chance! Throw it out!

Heloise ##### Dear Heloise: I have found a way to package hamburger meat and put it in freezer bags so my hands don’t touch the meat: I use my kitchen tongs. Open the bag and use the tongs to put whatever amount of meat you want into each bag. This is easier and safer than touching the meat. Then you label and date it.
